Name: TinyMCE module
Authors: Matt Westgate <drupal at asitis dot org> and
Richard Bennett <richard.b at gritechnologies dot com>
Jeff Robbins <robbins at jjeff dot com>
Dependancies:
This module requires the third-party TinyMCE editor and a
Javascript-enabled web browser. Currently it is known to work
with Internet Explorer, Mozilla and Firefox and degrade gracefully
for Safari and Konqueror users. A browser compatibility chart is here:
http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/tinymce/docs/compatiblity_chart.html
INSTALLATION:
********************************************************************

3. Place the entire 'tinymce' engine folder inside your modules/tinymce
directory.
4. Load the database definition file (tinymce.mysql) using the
tool of your choice (e.g. phpmyadmin). For mysql and command line
access use:
mysql -u user -p drupal < tinymce.mysql
Replace 'user' with the MySQL username, and 'drupal' with the
database being used.
4. Enable this module by navigating to:
administer > modules

http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/download.php
And follow the instructions that come with that package.

Create new content as a role that has TinyMCE permissions and see TinyMCE in
action!
README:
********************************************************************
Once TinyMCE is enabled, the default behavior is that all textareas
will use TinyMCE for all users. The admin can change these defaults
at
administer > settings > tinymce
The admin can choose what theme TinyMCE should be the default and
user's can override this by editing their account (if they've been
given permissions to do so). User's also have the option of disabling
TinyMCE completely.
The admin can also define which pages TinyMCE should be used on.
This cannot be changed on a per user basis.
DRUPAL PLUGINS FOR TINYMCE:
********************************************************************

NOTE: If you want to use img_assist with TinyMCE, you don't have to
install a plugin. Just enable the img_assist module and click
the photo icon that appears below each textarea.
Located in the plugins directory are Drupal specific plugins for
TinyMCE. Once you've downloaded and installed the TinyMCE engine,
copy this plugins over the directory of TinyMCE
(tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/). Most of these plugins will already be
active if you use the 'advanced' theme for tinymce. See the
documentation in each plugin folder for more details.
CAVEATS
********************************************************************
By default, Drupal uses the 'Filtered HTML' input format for adding
content to the site and this can create conflicts with TinyMCE. It's
best when using this editor to use an input format that has all
filters disabled. What I usually do is create an input format called
'Rich-text editing' and set that as the default format for roles which
use TinyMCE exclusively. To modify your input formats go to:
Administer > input formats > configure > configure filters
TWEAKING THE TINYMCE THEME
********************************************************************
Developers have complete control over when and how tinymce is enabled
for each textarea inside Drupal by creating a custom Drupal theme
function. The following example assumes you're using a phptemplate based theme.
Put the following function in your themes template.php file:
Matt Westgate
committed
/**
* Customize a TinyMCE theme.
*
* @param init
* An array of settings TinyMCE should invoke a theme. You may override any
* of the TinyMCE settings. Details here:
*
* http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/wrapper.php?url=tinymce/docs/using.htm
*
* @param textarea_name
* The name of the textarea TinyMCE wants to enable.
*
* @param theme_name
* The default tinymce theme name to be enabled for this textarea. The
* sitewide default is 'simple', but the user may also override this.
Matt Westgate
committed
*
* @param is_running
* A boolean flag that identifies id TinyMCE is currently running for this
* request life cycle. It can be ignored.

*/
function phptemplate_tinymce_theme($init, $textarea_name, $theme_name, $is_running) {
switch ($textarea_name) {
// Disable tinymce for these textareas
case 'log':
case 'img_assist_pages':
case 'caption':
unset($init);
break;
// Force the 'simple' theme for some of the smaller textareas.
case 'signature':
case 'site_mission':
case 'site_footer':
case 'settings][access_pages':
$init['theme'] = 'simple';
unset($init['theme_advanced_toolbar_location']);
unset($init['theme_advanced_toolbar_align']);
unset($init['theme_advanced_path_location']);
unset($init['theme_advanced_blockformats']);
unset($init['theme_advanced_styles']);
break;
}
// Add some extra features when using the advanced theme.
Matt Westgate
committed
switch ($theme_name) {
case 'advanced':
Matt Westgate
committed
$init['extended_valid_elements'] = array('a[href|target|name|title|onclick]');
$init['theme_advanced_buttons3_add_before'] = array('tablecontrols');
Matt Westgate
committed
}
// Always return $init; !!
return $init;
}
If you study the above function you can see that tinymce can be completely
disabled or you can even switch themes for a given textarea.
